On Your Bike
Neville and the Party Couple made a peculiar threesome as they hurried through the asteroid field looking for the aimless asteroid. It was not an easy task. Neville had to keep one eye ahead, searching for the aimless asteroid, while he had to keep one eye behind to make sure the Party Couple were still following. It seemed like every few minutes they had to stop to make a toast, do a dance or just throw some streamers at a passing meteor shower.
But amazingly, after a couple of minutes of looking, Neville spotted the aimless asteroid. There it was directly ahead of them, zipping up and down and in and out like some complicated yoyo trick.
âWe have to get that asteroid,â Neville said to the Party Couple.
They all sped off in pursuit, but the aimless asteroid was too hard to catch. Just when it seemed that the three of them had it cornered, it would suddenly change direction and dart away, like a cunning fox evading three hunting dogs. After a few minutes of fruitless chasing, the aimless asteroid had completely disappeared again.
âCome on,â called Neville. âWe have to find that asteroid again.â
âWeâre all puffed out,â said the Party Man. âWe need to rest.â
âBut we donât have time,â protested Neville.
âI canât even breathe,â said the Party Woman, and she demonstrated by trying to blow, unsuccessfully, into her party horn. âCanât we just stop for a minute?â
âAll right. Just for a minute,â agreed Neville.
The three of them walked wearily over to the nearest asteroid and sat down.
Neville stretched out his legs. It felt good to rest, even if only for a couple of minutes. There was still time to find the aimless asteroid, and it would be easier to catch if they all had fresh legs.
Suddenly there was a loud whirring noise, coming from directly behind him. Neville dived out of the way, just in time, as three people on bicycles rode right over the spot where he had been sitting.
People on bicycles! Neville couldnât believe it. Here were yet more people he could invite to the forum.
He looked down at the ground where the bicycles had ridden. A track had been marked out on the dusty asteroid surface. Clearly, this was a bicycle race. All Neville had to do was get them to stop and then he could convince them to join him.
By now, Neville could hear the whirring again. He stood up and jumped onto the track, waving his arms as the bicycles raced towards him. But the riders on the bikes showed no signs of slowing down. As they rushed directly at him, Neville was forced to jump off the tracks again to avoid being hit.
This was proving to be harder than Neville had anticipated. These Cyclists were obviously not ready to finish their race yet. Neville had to think of a way to get them to stop. As they rode past again and again, Neville tried shouting and jumping and yelling out, âstop, stop!â at the top of his voice.
